SEEKING: Local non-union puppeteers or actors looking to learn age 18+ in the greater San Antonio area for THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR SHOW. 3 performers plus 1 swing to cover all tracks. Please note the swing role has been filled by Magik’s Resident Artist Amy Bouquet. Actors should be comfortable with movement and have strong ability for vocal characterization across many characters. In particular, seeking actors skilled at making long and repetitive passages not sound monotone. Each actor will operate 18+ different puppets in this ensemble show. Performers of all ethnicities, cultural backgrounds and gender identities are especially encouraged to audition.

PRODUCTION OVERVIEW: The critically acclaimed production of The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show created by Jonathan Rockefeller features a menagerie of 75+ lovable puppets. The production faithfully adapts four stories by author/illustrator Eric Carle: The Artist Who Painted a Blue Horse, Mister Seahorse, The Very Lonely Firefly and of course, the star of the show – The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The Very Hungry Caterpillar has delighted generations of readers since it was first published in 1969 selling more than 48 million copies worldwide.

PREPARATION: Prepare a monologue (90 seconds or less) from a show of your choice. This should be a selection which can express the dynamic vocal characterization(s) and inflection of your voice. Movement encouraged. Additionally, please be prepared for possible reading from the script and interaction with some of Magik’s stock puppets.

Created by Jonathan Rockefeller

Produced in association with Rockefeller Productions
